Dozens of people have lost their lives, with the death toll expected to rise. At least one million people have been affected by the devastation. Your donation to the Nigeria Flood Relief Fund will help bring immediate relief to survivors and power long-term recovery efforts led by local organizations.

The floods hit northern Nigeria's Borno State after a deluge of rain caused a dam to burst. The same dam burst 30 years ago, causing widespread devastation. Entire neighborhoods in the state's capital, Maiduguri, are submerged under water. The dam collapse is compounding the humanitarian crisis in Borno, which has existed for decades as a result of the Boko Haram insurgency. Affected Nigerians are bracing themselves for a long wait for help, including medical assistance for the injured.

All donations to this fund will support recovery and relief efforts for people impacted by flooding across Nigeria. Initially, funding will help first responders meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. The fund will then transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run primarily by local, vetted organizations in affected regions across Nigeria.
